Quick fingers & nerves of steel, around a table
Bomb Party
A naquadah charge goes around the table, fuse lit. For each syllable, type a word from the saga that contains it and pass the charge on before it blows. Character, planet, ship, technology, species: anything goes as long as the game knows it. One device, no sign-in.

How to play
⌨️
Type the word
A syllable appears, say TA. You type a word from the Stargate universe that contains it (Bra'tac, Ha'tak, Tau'ri) and hit enter. The game checks that it's really in its word bank.
⏱️
The fuse is burning
The bar keeps draining and never refills between players. The longer you stall, the closer to zero the bomb is when you hand it on. Submit and pass the device, fast.
💥
Boom, you lose a life
Whoever holds the charge when it blows loses a life. Out of lives, you're out. The last survivor wins the game.
758
words from the saga in the bank
Characters, System Lords, peoples, planets, ships, technology and concepts. The game draws its syllables from this bank, so each one always hides in several words. If yours is missing and the table agrees, a button lets it count anyway.
Loosely inspired by word-bomb games, tuned to the frequency of the Stargate.
